Impact of the Ongoing Strikes

A significant strike involving 36 ports and 45,000 workers threatens to disrupt U.S. trade massively. The workers are demanding a 77% wage increase over the next six years, rejecting an offer of nearly 40%. Analysts project this strike could cost the economy between $3.8 billion and $4.5 billion daily. If the strike persists, it may lead to inflation, particularly affecting essential products during the holiday season.
